National Stay At Home Week

Posted By on September 21, 2008

I really have nothing to write about. I’ve spent most of today on the couch or in the bathroom with some sort of stomach bug. It woke me up early Sunday morning, seemingly with some sort of fever because all of a sudden I was freezing my ass off in my bed looking for a sweatshirt and sweatpants like all of a sudden I was Rip Van Winkle and I just slept until December and a cold front just came in that included ice and snow. I would have gotten out of bed to get more covers or take some Advil, but I was JUST. SO. COLD.

And as quickly as the shivering and teeth chattering came, I was then sweating my ass off like I was having a hot flash like a middle-aged woman would be having. And then really, I just tossed and turned the rest of the morning before finally moving to the couch to watch TV and toss and turn.

In other weekend news, I watched the movie Prime on Friday night. It is the one where Uma Thurman is dating some young hottie and describing it in vivid details to her therapist, Meryl Streep, who just happens to be the young man’s mother. Have any of you seen it? Can you please tell me what that ending was? That was the worst ending in history. I watch chick flicks for HAPPY ENDINGS!

In other television-watching news, I decided to watch The Biggest Loser. Everyone watches it and I hate to be left out. I remembered why I never watched it in the first place – people should not be punished for wanting to lose weight and not losing enough! I felt so bad for those people feeling bad that they didn’t lose enough, when they lost like 10 pounds in a week!

I am happy to know that the booted teams go home and keep up the working out and eating well and losing weight. That makes me a little happier. As I watch the show eating a tub of ice cream and scarfing down a bag of potato chips.

This week is ABC’s National Stay At Home Week. Supposedly to “save energy” by staying home and watching TV. I would like to meet these ABC executives and introduce them to my National Stay At Home Week. It lasts all year long. I call it National Sloth Week.

Finally, I got the very best spam comment today. It was on this post. A post with photos of my adorable niece and nephew. The comment is from “landlord home insurance” and this person wants to tell me:

Not bad at all, but this topic is rather little of interest. Please do not disappoint your readership.

Dear Landlord Home Insurance,

Thank you for your insightful comment. Clearly you are a douchebag robot and if I’m disappointing you, then I’m doing something right.

Thanks!

    I actually really liked prime. And I think the ending was the only way it could end.

  2. Hmm. I’ve never seen the Biggest Loser. So they boot you off for not losing enough? That does seem kind of counter-productive.

    Haven’t seen Prime. I do watch The Biggest Loser and it always makes me hungry.

  4. Raven says:

    The ending really bothered me as well! But then of course, I was dating a younger man and I really wanted it to work out so I might have been hector projector a bit.

  5. That is some seriously strange spam.

    “Prime” is one of my favorite new movies. I respect the ending and agree with jodifur. Sure we all want to end up with Bryan Greenburg, all vacation sexing, but in real life…not so sure it’s forever.

  7. Candy says:

    You keep replies to your readership like that, and you’ll have an entire army of robots standing on your doorstep. THEN we’ll see who gets the last laugh.

    I love those spam emails – they “disagree just a bit with my ideas.”

    Did you happen to get that on Friday or Saturday? I think I had a couple that wouldn’t have normally passed the filter get through one of those days.

    i always wonder why spambots choose super-old posts to comment on. trust me, spambot, there aren’t THAT MANY people reading my archives, including avidly reading through all the comments on a post about my cats.

    Prime was the worst movie ever. It’s actually the only movie where I left the theater before it was over…so I don’t even know how it ended. So much for thinking you couldn’t go wrong with Meryl Streep.

  13. I hate the Biggest Loser because I keep waiting for one of the contestants to pull cartiledge or something for all of the sudden effort their putting on their bodies.

    I was disappointed in Prime as well. That ending was totally not what I was expecting.

    And please pass the ice cream?

    I want to see the Coco Chanel lifetime movie. What does it say about my ife that I look forward to lifetime movies?

  16. I think its weird that movies like “Prime” and “Something New” where the woman goes for someone unexpected or taboo, that it never works out (ok, it KINDA did in “Something New” but it didn’t make sense). I watched it because I fell in love with Bryan after HBOs “Unscripted”.

    In more, “I watch too much TV news”, the Emmy’s stole 4 hours of my life and I want it back. The only thing that made it worth while was Laura Linney’s acceptance speech about community organizers founding our constitution.

    Take that in your glasses, Palin!
